sorry if I've missed anyone.

I hope everyone is progressing well ✨

Good idea, thanks! I'm getting to the 'when will this baby arrive' stage, 39+3 today. I've been booked for a couple of sweeps next week and then an induction on Saturday when I'll be 40+6 as they don't want me going over 41 weeks. Really hoping he comes under his own steam before that, I've had enough of reading into every twinge and obsessing about baby movements (and I am looking forward to a large wine!)

How is everyone doing?

I was just thinking of everyone yesterday and went to the thread and seen it was closed. Thanks for doing this @KayEmmSquared2.
im doing ok - booked in for induction this Saturday an had my sweep yesterday (I thought the were just going to tell me what to expect and give me a tour lol so completely caught off guard lol). @Orangewillowits just like a smear test/transfer x

Oh my goodness @Orangewillow and @confused2025 you are both so close now! I was thinking a couple of us were close to the end and then noticed the group was closed lol

I’m 35+3 today and I think baby is moving south, finally! they’ve been transverse for about 6weeks now but lots of movement and sensations in the pelvis so 🤞🏻 scan and consultant app tomorrow so will know more then.

good luck to you both for the next week or so!! keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks for setting up another group @KayEmmSquared2 haven’t posted loads but enjoy reading how everyone is and seeing updates 😊 34 weeks and feeling excited to meet them soon!

@KayEmmSquared2 thank you for setting up a new thread, I hadn’t realise the other thread was full after not checking for a few weeks.

I am currently 38+5 and I’m booked for my c section this Friday (Friday 13th 😟 I hope it’s a good day for me and not bad)
I won’t lie one minute I’m nervous, the next I’m excited.
I’m trying to keep myself busy but also not do too much to send myself into early labour 🤣
How is everyone else doing and feeling?

Thanks for setting up another one! Doing well here. 28 weeks so a bit behind the rest of you. I hope your inductions and c-sections (and hopeful spontaneous labours where wanted!) all go as smoothly as possible. I will be having a c-section in my 39th week but still have a way to go.

I had a consultant clinic yesterday, baby is doing great, head down and ready to go, now measuring in the 75th percentile and there’s a bit more fluid than they would like but they’re not worried.

I’ve to go back to the clinic in 3weeks and all being well with baby they will do a sweep and book in an induction for 39weeks, they don’t want me going over 40weeks. I’m also on blood thinners so they want to keep a closer eye on me from 38weeks to stop my blood thinners when it looks like I’m ready to go so I don’t have a risk of bleeding too much. So there will be lots of early morning cervix checks 🙈

@lemonwrightygood luck 🍀 for today. You will be in my thoughts. Let us know how you get on x

Thanks @magpie234
you’ll be surprised how quick the next few weeks go for you x

@Orangewillow @confused2025 @lemonwrighty how are you all getting on? Do we have any wee miracles with us yet? 🤞🏻✨

@KayEmmSquared2baby girl arrived today - happy and healthy. No name yet though as still trying to decide x

Amazing @confused2025 congratulations!! I hope the birth went well and can’t wait to find out what you name her. Enjoy this precious time together xx

Oh wow congratulations! Were you close to your due date? Hope you’re all doing well 💖

Baby boy born via planned c section yesterday. He’s perfect. It was originally meant to be fri 13th but it was a busy day for theatre and emergency c sections being prioritised first.

Thank you 😊. I was 40 weeks + 1 x

Congrats @lemonwrightyhope you're feeling ok. I ended up as an emergency c section due to a failed induction. I wish I had of just gone C Section to begin with x

Congratulations @lemonwrighty! Hope you’re both doing well 🩵❤️ Crazy to think how far our little embryos have come!

Baby Ollie was born this morning via emergency c section after a failed forceps delivery and being in labour for 6 part of 48 hours... I hadn't wanted a c section but would have been nice to cut out all the in between! Anyway, he's here safe after a couplen of worrying teists and turns, weighing in at 9 pounds with plenty of hair and is v cute. It does feel quite surreal and after 3 nights of v little sleep and being in a fair amount of pain, I'm feeling a bit strange!

Congrats on all the recent arrivals, hope you're all doing well xx

Congratulations @lemonwrighty does baby boy have a name yet? Xx

Congratulations @Orangewillow Ollie is a lovely name xx

Thank You 🥰 we’re in absolute newborn heaven, exhausted but absolutely loving each day.
No name yet, still undecided.. had lots of girl names but we was always stuck on boys name.

congratulations @confused2025 on baby girl and @Orangewillow on baby Ollie. Lovely name. Hope you’re both recovering well, I’m still very sore trying to not over do it but also be up and about walking so help my recovery.

How is everyone else getting on? How far along is everyone so far?

Thank you for the new thread @KayEmmSquared2

wow some exciting updates!!

huge congrats @confused2025 @lemonwrighty and @Orangewillow!! How are you all doing?

37 weeks here now so baby is officially full term and now just a waiting game 😊

Doing ok, we ended up having to be in the hospital 5 nights which wasn't great, enjoying being home and settling into life! As expected, we are pretty tired, and I've definitely felt the hormonal shift, getting quite tearful and overwhelmed sometimes. Overall just delighted to have finally brought a baby home

Hope everyone else is doing well, not long now @lemons44, are you on maternity leave now?

@Orangewillow glad you got home - I found the hospital part much harder than being at home.
baby will be two weeks tomorrow - where has the time gone 🤣. It’s been so lovely even with the craziness of cluster feeding

Baby boy arrived last night, after 5days in the hospital being induced we finally got to meet our little miracle baby 💙 absolutely besotted!
